Important Note: We believe that FGSM tuition suggestions are reasonable and much lower than most ministry schools. Matthew 6:21 tells us that people spend their money on what is important to them, and we believe they are more likely to value what they spend their money on. However, we also know that some truly cannot afford a set tuition. Therefore, if you sincerely desire to attend FGSM but cannot due to finances, please submit your application. FGSM never denies applicants based on money.
